Look within before looking outside: Why Nepali industry should embrace decarbonisation
Summary
Nepali factories can cut costs and emissions by fixing energy waste on the shop floor, from boiler tuning and leak repairs to better motors and digital monitoring. The article argues that decarbonisation is прежде всего a competitiveness strategy, not just a climate obligation.
Key Points
- Carbon reduction is presented as a business opportunity rooted in efficiency, cost savings, and better industrial performance.
- Simple measures such as boiler tuning, leak fixing, insulation, and maintenance can reduce factory energy use by 5 to 15 percent.
- High-efficiency motors, variable frequency drives, and digital monitoring can deliver larger energy savings and improve reliability.
- Powering Nepal's Green Industrial Future (Power-GIF) is cited as a support programme offering audits, clean-tech pilots, training, and green financing links.
